    I’m fine with virtual desktop, just not the forced use of them as the only real tool for window management.

    Having dedicated separate desktops for everything doesn’t really work for my workflow. The various pairings of apps I need change too frequently and it ends up feeling like a lot of extra work.

    I’ve aspired to work that way, but I think I’d need a job where I was completely on my own where I could structure everything how I wanted and do all the work on my schedule without so much context switching.

        I’ve never been a big KDE fan, though I haven’t used it in a while. I’m using xfce right now due to slow hardware, but it’s not my first choice either.

        This is the paradox of choice. With so many options I expect I’d find my Goldilocks desktop, but haven’t, so I’m forever unsatisfied. I don’t really have this issue with macOS or Windows, because they just are what they are.
